The child and teacher within
This is some information that I have been receiving and working on recently. It is the acknowledgment that we are all children and teachers everyday of our lives. Every conversation and action we make is a learning experience. The thing that most adults get caught up with is their belief system that they have created from past experiences. This belief system may limit them from seeing the big picture of what is going on around them.
A child has no belief system and their consciousness is therefore free of beliefs. They go through the day experiencing things for the first time, always looking for fun things to do no matter where they go. In the line at the bank or while riding in a car, they are always looking for fun things to do. Even while cleaning up toys at the end of the day, they will try and make it a fun experience. This joy and freedom was not taught to them. This is the true consciousness of their soul shining through. As a child grows older, they are subjected to all kinds of events that shape their reality. They are taught not to do this or that. As a parent we try and shape their life around our own experiences while still trying to allow them to learn and grow on their own. We can tell them 100 times not to touch the stove or they will get burnt, but some adventurous souls like to test everything out and then get burnt. As a parent sometimes we have to allow our children to learn things on their own. Shielding them from never falling down or getting hurt will only impede their growth!
By the time someone has reached adulthood their reality has been sculpted. The experiences that they have had to this point have created a belief system. This belief system may include that the sky is blue and the grass is green. It may also be that certain kinds of people are not nice or that these are the correct religious beliefs. All of these types of beliefs add up to create a person’s reality. The same goes for someone’s career or work. Many adults think they are better than another because of their own experiences. These are very good examples of how people limit their awareness simply because of a belief system.
The truth is… no one is better than another. The adult is not better than the child. We are all equal. The adult does have more experience than the child and is entitled to try and pass along advice, but as adults we are not here to dis-empower or hold the child back from growing. Many adults allow themselves to stop growing. They allow their experience to fuel their ego and then fall into a space of stagnation.
Adults have to realize that they still have a child within them, which is always trying to grow and find joy. It is OK to open up to other views and experiences out of your belief system. There is nothing wrong with experiencing the morning drive to work as a new event. It is OK to see a new way of looking at the same thing even if you have done it 1000 times. Forcing yourself to see a “new side” to everything will allow more joy to come into your life. By letting go and not letting past events or experiences to effect your current awareness will allow you to start releasing your old belief system that has been holding you captive for so long. You will experience things as they happen in the present, not allowing a past experience to judge the present. Therefore each day and every event will be a new learning experience.
As adults we teach our children and we teach each other with our actions and advice. No matter what our experience level, job or financial status, we are all equal. The child learns from the parent and the parent learns from the child. The same principle applies to us as adults. The student teaches the teacher just as much as the teacher teaches the student. We are all students and teachers learning every day of our life. We are never one or the other- we are always both. The ego is the only thing that will create indifference or separation from this. The ego will always try and create thoughts that will make you feel inferior or superior to another. Always remember you are not the ego voice. Your true self is the child within and that is your soul.
During this time of rapid change and growth, it is particularly important for us all to stay focused and open and not allow the ego to get in the way of learning. We must be the child and teacher to all that comes our way. Treat every situation as a new learning experience. It is time to put aside our individual belief systems and work together as one. As we all awaken to higher levels of consciousness, there is no need for fear or judgment, for holding onto fear for protection or judgment of others or of yourself will only limit your progress. Allow unconditional love to flow. Every person on earth is walking on their own path. Let’s love each other unconditionally and know that everything happens in divine order. Enjoy life, laugh and have fun. Let the child within lead your life and radiate your love so that all learn from your example.
Unconditional love and healing energy to all that ask for it,

Joe,
You are so right about the children being free and full of fun as their true nature. As a 53 yr old (young) father of two girls..... 7 yrs and 6 yrs, I can certainly understand what you write. My children have allowed me to see the world through their eyes.
Your blog post is very good and so true. Your writing flows well and carries the message of forgiveness as the means to letting go of the past in order to live in the ever alive moment of NOW.
With so few members writing and contributing, it is good to see you do this post. Keep it up.
Thanks,
Tom
